Efficient Privacy Preserving Protocols for Decentralized Computation of Reputation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present three different privacy preserving protocols for computing reputation. They vary in strength in terms of preserving privacy, however, a common thread in all three protocols is that they are fully decentralized and efficient. Our protocols that are resilient against semi-honest adversaries and non-disruptive malicious adversaries have linear and loglinear communication complexity respectively. We evaluate our proposed protocols on data from the real web of trust of Advogato.org.

Privacy Preserving Reputation Systems for Decentralized Environments
Reputation systems are a key technology for making users accountable for their behavior in online communities. A reputation system computes the reputation of a user based on the feedback provided by the community. If the user draws negative feedback, it loses good reputation and may eventually be excluded from the network. It has been observed that users in a reputation system often hesitate in...
متن کاملk-Shares: A Privacy Preserving Reputation Protocol for Decentralized Environments
A reputation protocol computes the reputation of an entity by aggregating the feedback provided by other entities in the system. Reputation makes entities accountable for their behavior. Honest feedback is clearly a pre-requisite for accurate reputation scores. However, it has been observed that entities often hesitate in providing honest feedback, mainly due to the fear of retaliation. We pres...

Reputation systems make the users of a distributed application accountable for their behavior. The reputation of a user is computed as an aggregate of the feedback provided by other users in the system. Truthful feedback is clearly a prerequisite for computing a reputation score that accurately represents the behavior of a user. However, it has been observed that users often hesitate in providi...
متن کاملA Trustless Privacy-Preserving Reputation System
Reputation systems are crucial for distributed applications in which users have to be made accountable for their actions, such as ecommerce websites. However, existing systems often disclose the identity of the raters, which might deter honest users from submitting reviews out of fear of retaliation from the ratees. While many privacy-preserving reputation systems have been proposed, we observe...
متن کاملEfficient Privacy-Preserving Reputation Evaluation in Decentralized Environments
A decentralized secure protocol for casting trust rating in reputation systems (StR protocol) is lately proposed by Dimitriou and Michalas, and the StR protocol is verified to be faster than the previous work providing anonymous feedback. In this letter, we present new enhanced scheme of StR. Compared with StR protocol, our new approach attains the exactly same security, but requires less proce...
